<title>Televising Of Rugby League Challenge Cup Final</title>
<proposer id="10672">Neil Turner</proposer>
<date>2009-11-18</date>
<text>That this House notes that Rugby League is played in every nation in the United Kingdom, and in every county in England; and believes the Rugby League Challenge Cup Final is a sporting event of national importance that should be available to all fans on free to view terrestrial television, and that the Davies Committee recommendations should be rejected.</text>
